I wish I could come up with a combination of functions to automate the
sorting (in ascending or desc. order) columnA (the lenght is different on
each sheet) containing multiple text and/or number values (even blank ones)
so, that in colF will be the sorted list of unique values and colG will show
how many times this value figures in the unsorted list ---- but I can't, so I
ask for your kind help.

Thanks in advance
